Seams Legit

Whether you've got a well-loved hoodie that's seen one too many sessions, a T-shirt with a hole in the sleeve or a chalk bag that deserves a fresh look, we'll show you how to give it a second life.

No experience needed.

Learn a Skill

Over two hours, we'll guide you through the fundamentals of hand sewing before helping you repair and customise your own clothing.

You'll learn how to:

  • Thread a needle with confidence
  • Master a selection of practical stitches
  • Repair holes and reinforce worn areas
  • Attach patches securely
  • Personalise clothing using visible mending techniques
  • By the end of the workshop, you'll leave with practical repair skills you can use for years to come.

What's Included

  • Two-hour guided Repair & Customisation Workshop
  • Three exclusive Winter Grit artist-designed patches
  • All sewing tools and materials
  • Practice fabric to build your confidence
  • Printed repair guide
  • Exclusive follow-along video tutorials

Nothing to bring? No problem.

We'll have practice materials available for everyone, along with a selection of rescued clothing ready to be repaired, reimagined and given a second life.
